The rice cooker is a small kitchen appliance that every family has, and many people don't pay attention to it when they buy it, and they buy an ordinary one casually, and in the end the appearance and practicality are relatively average.
I found that many families have made mistakes in this "7 buy 5 don't buy", come and see if your family has done it?
1. Don't buy the cover that can't be cleaned
The lid of the rice cooker is often contaminated with steam fumes, but there are many rice cookers, and there is no cover that can be removed and cleaned separately, and the lid is dirty and often requires the entire rice cooker to be put in the sink for cleaning, not to mention the trouble, and it is easy to damage the circuit.
The detachable cleaning of the upper cover, relatively speaking, is much more convenient, the lid is removed and washed separately, the upper shell kitchen paper can be wiped on the line, it is convenient and safe, and it will not be more expensive, why not?
Second, do not buy cylindrical liners
Today, in 2024, I really don't recommend you to buy the ordinary cylindrical liner anymore, usually the heating method of this liner is relatively simple, the thermal conductivity is also average, and the heat of the cooked rice is not easy to control.
Comparatively speaking, the ball kettle rice cooker is now the mainstream, not only the inner material is better, but the special shape also makes the heating and heat storage effect better, and of course, it is more handy when cooking or other dishes.
3. Do not buy separate chassis heating
With the cylindrical liner just mentioned, it is often this kind of separate chassis heating rice cooker, its biggest problem is that it is unevenly heated, sometimes the rice on the top is still relatively hard, and the edge below is almost out of the pot.
Nowadays, when choosing a rice cooker, it is recommended that you choose the IH heating mode, although it is not as fully uniform as the oven heating up and down, but it can also cook rice faster than pure bottom heating, and the heating is more even, I personally feel that the practicality is much stronger.
Fourth, do not buy stainless steel liners
The material of the inner tank, most of which used to be stainless steel, although the stainless steel itself is quite durable, but there is a situation of sticking rice grains, my old rice cooker, every time it is soaked for a long time after eating, it is very troublesome.
I still recommend choosing a multi-layer composite for the material of the rice cooker, with a non-stick coating on the inside, which will be much more convenient for brushing and serving rice, and a thermal conductive layer is often added to the composite material to further improve the efficiency and heating uniformity of the rice.
Fifth, don't believe in all kinds of bargains
When my home was renovated, the door was full of the kind of group buyers of appliances, rice cookers are often used as a gift, sometimes the basic model of the brand is easy to say, but sometimes there will be some miscellaneous brands, I am not very relieved about the safety of electricity.
In fact, a rice cooker can be used for a long time, even if it is a budget of three or five hundred, I recommend buying it from online or offline stores, don't buy inferior miscellaneous brands cheaply, this kind of buy home is not at ease, right?
Sixth, the capacity does not have to be large
If you are an ordinary family of three, don't buy that kind of super-large capacity rice cooker, electricity consumption is one thing, every time you prepare a meal and brush it is much more troublesome than a small-capacity rice cooker, experience it yourself, and give everyone a reminder.
7. Energy efficiency should be at the first level
In the end, energy efficiency is only recognized as a level of energy efficiency, rice cookers are not expensive, and it is not cheaper to buy higher energy efficiency, and it may be worse than this electricity price in a year, and the more you use it in the future, the more expensive it is, it is really not worth it.
All in all, many people buy the wrong rice cooker at home, precisely because they don't adhere to the above "7 buy 5 don't buy", I don't know if you choose the right one?
